Thrive began in 2021 in Fayetteville, Arkansas while we were students at the University of Arkansas. What started as a small group of friends wanting to give back quickly grew into a community-driven nonprofit. Over the years, we organized backpack and food drives, 5Ks, clothing donations, and more — all focused on supporting underserved kids and families in our area.

Now that several of us have moved back home to Dallas, we’re bringing Thrive with us — and we’re excited to build something even bigger. Thrive Dallas is all about rallying the community to make a real, local impact. Whether it’s through events, drives, or partnerships, our goal is simple: help where help is needed, and bring people together in the process.
